Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I interrupt my normal schedule of posting to instead share a recipe with you. This was on our table this morning. Breakfast for dinner, perhaps?

Buckwheat heart-shaped pancakes

¾ cup buckwheat

¾ cup flour (regular or gluten-free)

2 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cup milk

2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla (I added this in)

¼ cup melted butter

diced strawberries (optional)

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In a small bowl, whisk wet ingredients together. Add wet ingredients to dry, mix until well blended. Add strawberries. Pour by ¼ cup onto greased, hot griddle or frying pan, in the shape of a heart. Cook 2-4 minutes, until brown on edges and bubbling, and flip, repeating on other side.
